Dracula is not a Romanian character. It is a British one, stolen by Hollywood. They just used the location, probably because at that time, Romania was considered at the edge of the Levant and consequently an exotic country.
We are proud with our national dark masters, but it is really hard to translate the names. And Dracula is a romantic character. The genuine characters are much more cruel and evil.
Ask the average American about Romania, and the response would probably involve orphans, Olympic gymnasts or Dracula.
Dispelling these common yet one-dimensional views of the country was, in large part, the inspiration for "Dracula is Dead," a new travel literature book by Sheilah Kast and James C. Rosapepe. The bookis a thoroughly researched yet conversational tour through the often-overlooked Eastern European country.
"We had the opportunity to live there for three years and travel all over the country," Rosapepe said. "There's a Romania Americans don't know. We wrote the book to help more Americans know it."
"Americans who visited Romania got entranced with the place," Rosapepe said. "They speak English, they're pro-American, they're nice people. It's a very interesting culture and history."
Perhaps Romania's most persistent myth revolves around Vlad Dracul, the basis for Bram Stoker's "Dracula." Also known as Vlad the Impaler, the Transylvanian prince is revered by Romanians several centuries after his death, Kast and Rosapepe write. Though Vlad's preferred punishment was impaling his victims, the legend of him being a blood-sucking demon helps boost Transylvania's tourism trade.
Kast and Rosapepe devote portions of "Dracula is Dead" to lesser-known political and social subjects, such as how religious belief persisted through communism. And Romania's history of training Olympic gymnasts? "Dracula is Dead" gets to the bottom of it in a sentence: "They practice a lot."

Vlad The Impaller the 3rd was the ruler/prince of one of the Romanian/Valachian small kingdoms. His family name was Dracul meaning Devil.
The Dragon's order was a Hungarian knights order (heir of former St. George Knights).

dead since 1476. It is only his un-dead body still crawling around us...
The sad thing about Romania is that they don't even own the rights to Dracula.
guess the admins werent happy with that title and members getting sad reading Dracula is dead.
Who changed the title of my post? This was the whole IDEA: to scare everybody that the un-dead one is dead....
